Re: HRM and irregular heart beats

I have a heartbeat that periodically comes in too soon. In a treadmill stress test conducted by a cardiologist several years ago, it appeared to diminish in number when exercising. I was told at the time it was probably nothing to be concerned about, but it does mess up HRM readings. Does anyone kn...

I'm joining the TAR as well....I don't want to cast any aspersions at this stage I just want to keep focused on rowing and meeting up with some of the local people who have encouraged me through 2005.

Cheers

Why do think it's the wrong move?[/quote] Frankly, who the hell cares...let's just row and be done with it. The current situation reminds me of the sketch in Monty Pythons Life of Brian.

:oops: Another failed attempt at a faster 10K tonight. I think the pace boat on the PM3 is actually psyching me out. Each time I've pretty much been on schedule to at least do as well as the time before, and with a mad sprint at the end, possibly do better. However as I almost puked last time and w...

ugh, I quit at 3269m. just barely holding on to 2:01.4 (av last time at this point was 2:01.5). Everything just felt dead like lead--no spunk at all. So I wasted some time flub dubbing around and will try again tomorrow. :oops: 60M would mean another 1M between us--how many of us are active right n...

Had another attempt this morning but made the mistake of rowing too soon after breakfast. I only made 3500m. Am I supposed to be logging these metres somewhere :?: Can't decide whether to row before breakfast and possibly not have enough energy or leave till later on. Was trying to rush it today as...

I don't know if I can catch her but I am working on it! Off to to another shot today, goal is to average 2:01 instead of 2:0...

Question: In my last 5K row I was holding a HR of 174-178 for the better part of 15 mins. Previously my anerobic threshold was early 170's so the question is how far to push for the 2k....looks like I may have to be getting into mid-180's which for someone of 39 is getting scary close to MHR (I did ...

Set a new 5k PB today 19m 6.2s. Improvement of 12s on previous time.

Bottled the <19M time which was on at 3k...too much self pity

Now for a new 2K and 10K PB
